Cuisine Asian
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 containers firm or extra firm tofu, pressed and chopped in to bite-sized or 1-inch chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups ketchup
  • 1 tablesoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Red pepper flakes, (use a bit less if you're cooking for kids)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare your tofu. Like most vegan tofu recipes, this one will taste best if you press the tofu first. Why? Tofu is like a sponge - the more water you gently press out of it, the more of the delicious barbecue sauce flavors marinate it can soak up!
  • Press tofu (See recipe note below)
  • Once your tofu is well-pressed, chop it into chunks, and combine your tofu with the remaining ingredients in a crock pot or slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
